Rhino Killings Soar for "Healing" Horn
Giang is a young woman from Vietnam. She has a gift from her father and was horn. Rhino are made of keratin. For long time, people have believed that rhino horn can heal. Now rhino horn is rumored to cure cancer.
The demand for rhino horn is very expensive in Vietnam. A poacher is someone who hunts illegally on someone else's land.
Rhino poachers are active in South Africa. They have way to catch rhino horns. Most of rhino horns die and the others rhino still live and can growt their horns back in two years. Officials have tried to stop poachers, but poachers kill the rhinos anyway for take their nubs.
In the 1970s, rhinos were almost extinct. But now, illegal rhino killings are soaring and increased more than before.
I disagree with that people are killing rhinos to get their horns. If we don't stop them by killing rhino horns that
is going to be a huge problem I mean is going to extinct.
